WBBL wide call erupts as season opener ends in controversy over ‘100 per cent’ wrong decision, Meg Lanning wins

Meg Lanning’s half-century on return to the WBBL has helped the Melbourne Stars hang on for a two-run win and deny an Ashleigh Gardner-inspired Sydney Sixers comeback. After Lanning’s 55 from 34 balls helped the Stars to 8-165 in the opening game of the season, the Sixers looked shot at 6-71 in reply at North Sydney Oval on Thursday.

Controversy erupts in final-ball thriller. But that was before Gardner unleashed, hitting 72 from 44 as the stand-in captain and Maitlan Brown put on 84 for the seventh wicket to put the Sixers back in the game. Player of the tournament last year, Gardner put the Sixers back in the game with the bat when she pulled Rhys McKenna for back-to-back sixes when all hope looked lost.
